Have you tried running the script as admin?
Have you made sure you're selecting the steam version in the script once it's opened? Is the steam version compatible?
Honestly, I'd say to forget about steam for PoE. You can't use PoEHuD with it anyway.
Do that to test it, I guarantee you most hacks will work better that way. You can then email GGG support to have your account unmerged so you can log in without steam. Note that this doesn't apply if you created your account on their website first then connected through steam, you'll just be able to use the same login info as on the website if that's the case
To run the game without steam without having to reinstall all of it, here's how;
1. Create a new account on their website if you can't log in without using steam on the web page.

2. Go download the game launcher from their website.

3. Start the download of the game and as soon as it begins downloading, pause it and close the launcher.
4. Go to your steam folder where PoE was installed, copy and paste one of these 2 in your folder explorer, it should work as long as you haven't changed the default installation destination in steam. Otherwise, just search for it. It'll still be in the '
SteamApps\common\Path of Exile' folder no matter what.
64bit Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Path of Exile
OR
32bit Windows
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Path of Exile
You should see something like this:
5. Copy the
Content.ggpk file over to the new installation of PoE you paused in step 3. If it asks you if you want to replace it in the new location you're installing to, do it.
6. Once the file is done transfering (It's most of the game, 6.6 Gigabytes) then re-open the launcher you downloaded in step 2 and let it patch.
Hope this was clear. Steam is the only thing that I could see change something. None of us using the global client have issues AFAIK.
